SE Intercooler kit recommendations?

Postby AlexHaley1994 » Mon Mar 28, 2016 12:15 am

Hi,

I'm in the process of swapping a SE motor into my NB8B. The factory intercooler came with the motor, but it's buggered and did not include all the piping and mounts required.

I've decided to pull the trigger on an aftermarket intercooler kit; that is intercooler, piping and mounts preferably in one package. I have plans for this setup to be eventually making 210-220hp.

What can you recommend me?

I have contacted NitroDann and MX5Mania, but I'd like some more opinions.

Cooling pro intercooler from Just Jap. Then follow these instructions http://www.mazda-speed.com/forum2/index ... 097.0.html

You need to make your own mounts but some flat steel bar and some bolts do the job just fine.

Between David and Dann you are probably looking at the 2 most experienced turbo mx5 guys in the country.
They have done work on on both my turbo cars and I wouldn't think you would need to look much further.

Richard.

Edit: You could also try Daniel from Deckspeed. He's great but very busy, well worth the wait though.
He has made lots of turbo cars including all the SP's ever made :D :D

I've spoken to Dann. He's going to make me up an intercooler, mounting and piping package able to withstand 300rwhp. Exactly what I was after.

Thanks for the advice!
